***Delinquent Utes.***
just doing the killings the Navajos wouldn’t do.
Back in the 1960s and 70s I used to read a lot of True West magazines and my favorites were the stories of the intertribal warfare between the Utes and Navajos.
According to the history books the Indian Wars ended in 1886 with the capture of Geronimo or 1890 with Wounded Knee. That is false. They settled into a low grade warfare that lasted another 50 years. In 1919 U.S. soldiers killed two members of a Yaqui raiding party. In 1936 a volunteer cavalry of 500 gathered in Douglas to hunt down remaining Apache holdouts who had kidnapped a Mexican boy. They were denied entry to Mexico because the Mexican governmant was afraid that their presence would cause the Yaquis to go on the warpath.
